What is Fiscal Sponsorship?
Fiscal Sponsorship allows your non-commercial project to apply for
funding from organizations that require non-profit status. Non-profit tax-
exempt status is required by many foundations, corporations and
government agencies in order to be eligible for funding since many do no
accept application proposals from individuals. Additionally, 501(c) 3
status allows you to receive charitable deductible contributions from
individuals—a major incentive for individuals considering making a
donation to your project.
As your fiscal sponsor, UNIQUE Productions acts a non-profit tax-exempt
umbrella organization that accepts and administers contributions made to
your project. UNIQUE PRODUCTIONS is legally responsible for the funds
received on behalf of fiscally sponsored projects and must insure that the
funds are used for charitable activities, as agreed upon between the donor
and recipient, and that the donor reporting requirements are met and in a
timely fashion. It does not mean that we are your producers, fundraisers,
or in any way connected to the content or actual production of your
project. All artistic and proprietary rights, title, interest in and to the
completed project will belong to the Project Director and may be
copyrighted in Project Director's name.
Fiscal sponsorship does not provide grants or do research for individual
project funding.
Projects are accepted into the Fiscal Sponsorship program only after
passing through a review process. In order to be eligible, you must meet
the following requirements:
